"The disappointment I feel today is beyond words," Heard wrote in her statement. "I'm heartbroken that the mountain of evidence still was not enough to stand up to the disproportionate power, influence and sway of my ex husband." The 36-year-old said she is even more disappointed in "what this verdict means for women," calling it a "setback."
Camille Vasquez and Ben Chew hit the morning show circuit on Wednesday — much to the dismay of Heard's team, given their new statement down below — where they praised the jury for looking at the evidence and denied that social media influenced the outcome. Vasquez also hit back at critics who say the verdict is a setback to the #MeToo movement.
The jury decided Heard was liable for defaming Depp in an op-ed published in the Washington Post. They also decided Depp was liable for a statement his attorney made calling Heard's claims of domestic violence a hoax.
